Sledgehammer Games has announced a new way to get Elite weapons called Master Prestige Ranks.

This feature is for those that are already at Master Prestige. Once you reach Master Prestige, your XP will reset (note: challenges and attachments will not reset in master prestige ranks), and now let you ranks up and earn more XP. There are now 15 additional Master Prestige Ranks, and each additional prestige gives you an exclusive Elite weapons.

Elite Unlocks:

Master Prestige 1: BAL 27 – Obsidian Steed

Master Prestige 2: MP11 – Goliath

Master Prestige 3: MORS – Silver Bullet

Master Prestige 4: TAC19 – Sledgehammer

Master Prestige 5: EM1 – Polar Vortex

Master Prestige 6: ARX 160 – Steel Bite

Master Prestige 7: AMR9 – Pro Pipe

Master Prestige 8: AMELI – Whale Horn

Master Prestige 9: AE4 – Gigawatt

Master Prestige 10: IMR – Thunder Tusk

Master Prestige 11: SN6 – Money

Master Prestige 12: ASM1 – Speakeasy

Master Prestige 13: PYTAEK – Loophole

Master Prestige 14: HBRA3 – Bear Fist

Master Prestige 15: ASM1 – Strider

Reaching the highest level, called Grand Master Prestige, gives you the Grand Master Prestige reward, which is a purple gear set.

These new features will be added into Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare sometime in March. An exact release date has not been announced as of now.

He never said he WANTED you to be thirty so you could get the purple suit. Only those with little to no life are going to get this stuff. At least we can now identify the players with a life, and those without.

Thunder

I also have a life, being a school bus driver, and I’m almost prestige 15. Don’t mean to be rude, cause I feel your pain about 30 prestiges, but if you played better you would be closer than just prestige 4.

Jordan Rolf

Your skill level has nothing to do with your prestige bro! im a competitive cod player so im defo not bad

Does anybody do the fucking challenges? Lol how are you guys not prestiged. The game came out in November. I was working 25 to 30 hours hours a week and taking care of two kids and I still managed to hit master in a month or two lol

So, It’s completely optional. You could just pretend this was never implemented and continue to get these guns from supply drops. However, if you do want these guns or you are already prestige master, this gives you something to work torwards. Most of the people playing BO2 have been Prestige Master for a very long time, and they always ask for more prestiges. I don’t see why people are hating on this. It doesn’t affect you, it adds more longevity to the game if you ever do get to prestige 15, and best of all, at prestige 16, you get arguably the best gun variant in the game.

TL;DR: It’s good for people who are already prestige master or close to it, and it doesn’t effect anyone who isn’t.

O god I don’t play this cod enough to get master prestige I was hoping they would add a challange that any one could do not just people that play it for a long time

Daniel

Holy shit, my social life has been killed

Daniel

I have over 330 hours played and Im prestige 11, this is insane

Mirage156

Ur clearly doing something wrong, i just play ranked play and pubs and i put 86 hours in and im prestige 8 and a half

yardis

He might not be as good. The better you are at the game the faster you level.

Daniel

Im always the MVP

ScOott

Please explain to me what this means I’ve seen a few people say it ?

Random

MVP is usually Most Valuable Player. So he’s saying he’s always top of the leaderboard. If that’s the case he’s definitely doing something wrong as even not going for challenges he should have gained enough XP to level up past prestige 11 by now.

ScOott

No don’t make sense at least I know what mvp stands for now, thankyou !

Kobrah

It also depends on the game mode he plays. Maybe he’s a TDM player

Daniel

120 hours of MP 20 hours of campaign 40 hours of exo survival And the rest was exo zombies

735

Honestly have no idea how people would even reach this. I honestly loved this game on launch and not because of the overpowered guns but because it was just a lot more fun to play. I don’t know what happened over the last month or so but I can’t play the game for more than 10 minutes before I have to turn it off, it’s just awful. Had an LMG challenge to complete for a supply drop which I couldn’t complete because the guns are completely useless, which on top of the disgusting spawns doesn’t help. It seems you can fire as many bullets as you like into your enemies, they can just turn round after sustaining however much damage and shoot you with an RW1. I can’t get past prestige 4, let alone a 2nd prestige 15. It’s just absurd, I don’t know who has the time to be playing that much, and you should be able to obtain those Elite weapons another way. Personally I’m sick and tired of receiving reinforcements and Nigerian knee pads and helmets, it’s a joke. Was enjoying this game so much but it’s gone downhill so fast. Zombies was the one thing I thought could save it but that’s just dull and empty, doesn’t have the same spark as Treyarchs original. Let’s just hope Treyarch can save this franchise, really needs something good now.

yardis

You can still get them in supply drops I believe. I already have the AMR Pro Pipe, so unless they remove them from supply drops there is nothing to worry about.

Did you buy the DLC? The reason I ask is every since it was released on PS4 I have enjoyed the game. I didn’t buy the DLC and don’t plan on getting it. You get way less tryhards, and SBMM seems to be less of a factor because of the smaller player pool.

735

I know you can still get them in supply drops but the point is they’re almost impossible to get hold of. The time I spent grinding the game just to be rewarded with an enlisted shirt or 10 minutes of rapid supply, or worse a care package which I never use is ridiculous. I have about 4 elite guns, 2 of which are duplicates. I got the MP11 Squeaker twice in one day and I never use it.

As for the DLC, yeah I bought it for the Zombies which was fun at first but wore thin very quickly, haven’t touched it in a few weeks because it is just incredibly boring. Doesn’t capture the excitement and, well fun of the Treyarch original. It’s trying hard to be original by renaming everything and having the exo suits but it’s nowhere near as good.

The DLC maps are just dreadful as well. Visually they look nice, but again the spawns and layout mean they play terribly. My friends and I couldn’t play on them for more than about half an hour.

I’m not saying this purely just to hate on Sledgehammer because on release, the game was fantastic and I really loved it. Was such a nice change compared to the past few years and it played brilliantly. I don’t know what’s happened in the last month but I can’t stand it at all. I load it up, join a lobby, get shot on spawn a dozen times, back out, find another lobby, the process is repeated until I’m forced to turn the game off. It’s just unbearable which is such a shame..

reamerb .

I thought I was the only one that found exo- zombies boring

yardis

Yea, most of the elites of almost impossible to get. I have the R.I.P., Speakeasy, Finger Trap, and the Pro Pipe. I always get the Pro Pipe multiple times. I think I may have gotten it 2 or 3 times after I unlocked it the first time. You should try to play without the DLC it may be better because I couldn’t stand this game a month ago. DLC dropped and I started getting 40+ kill games on a regular basis.

You can prestige once a day if you play games like domination or hardpoint. I play ground war it’s faster because there’s more players. All the points are there and challenges. Some give you 10k for one challenge

735

Weirdly enough though I don’t want to dedicate my life to a video game. I used to play like an hour a day, now I don’t really play at all. I’m not spending days and days playing domination just to get a different icon, that’s ridiculous.

Well to each their own I guess…. I’ve got 16 days of game play with nothing to show for it amongst elite weapons so I’ll be taking advantage of this regardless of whether or not they give me the variants I actually want

tarfeef101

Yeah, I’ve been master since January. Not quite as much time though, only seven days I think. But I have the only gun I need (breakneck), so I’m happy. Still going for the new Max prestige though

Dj

U must not be very good

Pop Goes the CONdrey

amen, no seriously you said the exact 100% truth. Bravo. God, Treyarch don’t let us down!!

fvgjvgjvb

Just Saying Treyarch and SledgeHammer are the only companys keeping this going I doubt that anyone would play a ghost 2 seariously don’t blab your mouth about how only treyarch can revive this seris because shooting people in a virtual game isn’t supposed to be sustaining its supposed to be about entertainment and calling a game trash because you don’t like it is dumb because they spent four years making this game and I doubt you can do any better. do you know how hard it is to keep millions of people entertained for a year on the same game.

735

They had 3 years but that’s still more than enough time to get it right, and it was right. For the first 2 months the game was perfect then after one of the updates it all went downhill. All this extra stuff, prestiges and things, just makes it even less appealing to me. I want to go back to when CoD was simpler, like MW2, Black Ops days but of course we won’t. Come May, we’ll be looking at yet another future based game filled with pointless micro DLC and uninteresting maps. The fun is gone but at least with Treyarch they have the imagination to produce a couple of fun maps and bring us Zombies. Something which IW and SH have failed to do.

RECKLESS

Iw was literally one of the best cod creators there were in my opinion mw2 was the best cod there was now it’s aw because you get tired of of just walking around not being able to go anywhere fast I try to go back to ghost and I can’t because it’s hard to get use to not being able to exo boost or double jump and the extra prestiges where a turn on for me because when you hit max prestige you get bored of the game and there is nothing left for you to do SH has made a decient game I would like to see you guys make a game that is better than aw wait you can’t because you guys probably don’t even no the guest thing about coding and how much goes into a game like this in surprised it didn’t take them longer than what it did to make aw

Inferno

the first few months were fun, now it feels like a job. With black ops 2, it never felt like a job, every time i got on and play it never felt like a job. Now i cant even go 5 minutes without shutting it off and switching to league of legends

jooker-jr

*When I reached prestige 13 yesterday : only two prestiges to stop the grind.

Guywithbrains

Couldn’t have said it better!

jooker-jr

But I have no problem with prestiging if they don’t restart Challenges and attachments.

Cook

Prestige 30 thats hella gay…. Do something real nice for the normal people that have a job and normal life and put more cool stuff like the purple suit and elite guns in supply drops and not ten times the same stupid kneepad or whatever you already got three times!!!

jooker-jr

Well, its just another way to get elite guns, THATS IT.

DEMOLITION12

nobody is going to give you free shit for not playing

ScOott

I don’t see no ak12 I love that gun and still have no elite for it

jooker-jr

It should be replaced with the SN6 – MONEY, I have it and the only reason that I’m keeping it is because it looks good.

ScOott

I wouldn’t know the only thing elite I ever get is the mk14 and care packages :-/ I think I have a shot gun as well … I have 4 days play time n elite wise that’s all I have to show for it lol… I really thought I’d get a proper chances to earn them but I’m only prestige 5 (sigh)

Or you just have no gun skill i’m able to beat people with Speakeasys and Obsidian Steeds no clue how you can’t

jooker-jr

I think you respond to the wrong person 🙂

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

Opinions? How do you have fun with this POS?

jooker-jr

AW is the worst game ever, its even worse than E.T, Blue estate, rambo: the video game and more…

Happy now ?

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

Nope, because it’s not genuine. With the BAL/ASM1, all I can do is rage at the POS. Worst CoD ever made. SH should be fired.

jooker-jr

Do u understand the meaning of “opinion” ?

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

Do you understand the meaning of “an invalid opinion”?

jooker-jr

What can I say that will make you happy ?

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

Nothing.

jooker-jr

OK, hope you don’t be sad for the rest of your life because someone likes a game that you don’t like.

Brendan

It’s not that you like it ans he doesn’t I don’t give a rats ass if you do or don’t it’s based around facts if you look at it majority find aw not enjoyable and honestly it’s better than ghosts but I still don’t like it I’m struggling to get to prestige 10 who the fuck wants to go to 30 and I know that it’s a reward to get these elite weapons but seriously they should be awarded through the first 15 prestiges and it’s rediculous why reward the “good players” and by good I mean people who have nothing better to do than grind all day it’s like rewarding someone who’s fat and just lost 10 pounds with a stop at McDonald’s for 4 big macks 20 piece nuggets 2 large fries and a milkshake and not expect them to barf when they workout next day

Izzy Ordo

actually, they reward the shitty players. ive gone 5 and 30 a few times getting my launchers royalty camo. the shittier you do the better support drop items you get. the one time it gave me 3 elite weapons when I did god awful

derp

I know right im 3rd prestige and im her like the fuck I have better things to do

Destroyer

U must be s##t we are at 17th prestige was easy

tarfeef101

you must be shit I’m 22nd

ContrastMaster OfThe BluePeopl

Quitter

ContrastMaster OfThe BluePeopl

I’ve prestiged 18 times in just over a month so I don’t think it’s that difficult and trust me when I tell you I’m not the best player by a long shot

Johnny

The people who are in the max prestige do nothing all day except play aw. I actually don’t think it’s fair that some people don’t have good weapons and then all these people with money to blow can buy advanced supply drops to get elite guns while other people don’t have that money to spend

Michael Coyle

Then don’t be a noob and be good I use the imr which is very underpowered and I wreck them so clearly you are just a raging try hard noob.

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

You’re obviously 12 years old.

Forlothelock

Every single Cod, with the exception of 1-2, have had 1-2 main guns that everyone used. Just think about it, your describing almost every cod.

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

Actually, you could use multiple weapons in past Call of Duty games. Even in Ghosts and Black Ops 2.

I don’t know what it is. Maybe players play a lot cheaper when the new CoD is ‘hip and cool’? Because Strikezone 24/7 on Ghosts is more fun than Advanced Warfare.

Mr Doge

Your an absolute idiot. Do you not know what the word “Opinion” means? Look it up on Google. Also there is no such thing as an invalid opinion. You saying that just makes you seem more offensive and ignorant then you already are. Also Strikezone on Ghosts is “more fun” for you because all the shit people now play on it. Have fun with your 10000 max players on Ghosts all platforms. P.S If anyone else is reading this, dont listen to word this dumbass says, he hated on Ghosts last year more than anyone did. #Themoreyouknow

Loki

What’s funny is BO2 still has way more players then Ghost .

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

You’re the idiot. What a stupid fanboy you are.

“val·id

ˈvaləd/

adjective

(of an argument or point) having a sound basis in logic or fact; reasonable or cogent.”

Your guys’ opinions on saying that Advanced Warfare is fun isn’t valid because you don’t give reasoning for it. It’s not my fault that you like a shit game. I’d rather play against campers on Ghosts that I can find easily than play against the BAL and ASM1 on Advanced Warfare. It’s people like you that stops other games from getting attention instead of Call of Duty. You support Activision, and you should be ashamed. Advanced Warfare is the worst CoD ever because it’s only inspired by competitive play. Get over it.

PS if anyone is reading this, Mr Doge is a dumbass CoD fanboy who has as much validity as my left nut.

R3ALSHADY

Here’s a reason: I believe Call of duty: Advanced Warfare is a very good game in terms of matchmaking because unlike some other call of dutys, Advanced Warfare is: Fast-Paced, and IS NOT dominated by BAL’s and ASM1’s, I see people using HBR’s AMR9’s, AE4’s and multiple other guns, if you think for one second that the ale is dominated by the BAL and ASM1 you are surely mistaken.

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

I’ve played the game for almost 2 days in total play time. It’s FULL of BAL’s and ASM1’s. You can’t use anything else to dominate. The game is TOO fast-paced. You get killed from the back far too often. It’s worse than Ghosts.

BradySucksBigTime

You just suck at playing the game. Admit it.

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

I suck at a casual game? Get over yourself and stop making sock accounts.

Schu1tzey

To be completely honest, I like Advanced Warfare for the following reasons: 1. It’s easy to pick up and play. 2. If you’re not great, you can hop on and goof off with your friends and somehow get the entire lobby using shotties when you started. 3. If you tryhard, you WILL end up in ‘those lobbies’ mentioned earlier, filled with nothing but BAL-27s and ASM1s, but if you PLAY SMART, and not rush in blindly all the time and get yourself free deaths and make them have to come to you and follow you, you can easily destroy someone with a Tac-19 Sledgehammer or an M1 Irons Desert Wanderer. 4. It has mosh pit, where I never get bored of one mode because I don’t play it all the time; whereas, Ghosts and Black Ops 2 do not. And now, reasons why your argument is invalid: 1. You’re whining because you die; 2. You tryhard, which is why you end up in those lobbies; 3. You’re acting like a complete and utter cock-waffle, by coming onto this part of the site, which is oriented towards ADVANCED WARFARE, the game you apparently so vehemently hate, and shitting all over everybody just because their opinion is different than yours. Just go back to the Ghosts or Black Ops 2 part of the site; no one wants you here. Now, have a nice day. I’m out this bitch.

Brendan

I’m gonna cut in here I use other guns…..to level them up to get royal on my bal but serious I have a class called try hard and it’s a ball and I’ve never went negative with that class I’m not saying he’s right and I’m not saying you are either I’m just saying the gun needs as much nerd as money shot from borderlands 2 lol

Brendan

Plus mw2 best cod and it is fast paced

Pete

Mw2 was the worst cod made…so unbalanced and glitchy. Unless you are a intervention quick scoper then you must love it

tarfeef101

No, then you are in a lower skill bracket so you don’t get the uber-tryhards that people like me get, who use exclusively those weapons. And yes, I actually do still enjoy this game, and I don’t use those guns. Mostly KF5, SN6, MP11 AK, and HBR

COD KING101

I KHOW COD AW IS AWSOME AND IM GOLD PRESTIGE 23 OR 24 IM NOT AGREAING WITH WAT HE SED BUT 1 TRUE THING HE SADE IS SOME PEOPLE CANT SPEND MONEY ON DLC GUMS OR ADVANCE SUPPLY DROPS BUT HERES A TIP MAKE A NEW ACCT AND SAVE UP YOUR ADVANCE SUPPLY DROPS CUZ U GET 1 ON RANKS 20/30/40 SO TRY THAT

Darwin

It’s not a bad game you just can’t cope with the ex movements like most cod players who say the game is crap… you can’t adapt to a new style of play.

yes, but you keep your unlocks and challenges, so there is really nothing “prestige-ish” about it

NcTL Paranoia

It’s still reaching another prestige. You still hit level 50 and then restart at 1. Once again if you look at the photo it says that.

Xx_ThomesAnTennksweg_xX

Why are you spreading your bullshit about it being 15 levels on nearly every comment?

IceKoldKilla

Some little kid that thinks he found out some truth we don’t know. Bet “a friend” told him that.

Rob Schneider

Deftones?

IceKoldKilla

Hell yeah! My favorite band of all time. Tied up with Queens of the Stone Age 🙂

Rob Schneider

Not bad, both pretty good bands. Queens of the Stone Age aren’t really my thing though, saw a bit of their set at Download Festival but I went to see Enter Shikari on a different stage instead. Ive been more into djent, progressive bands recently and some death metal but I always love me some deftones 🙂

DB

if nothing re-sets, its just an XP grind – you keep your attachments, etc.

zombiefreak935

No.

Aidos

Is it just me, Michael Condrey said Ali A will be able to get an ak12 rip, but the rip isn’t included in master prestige weapons.

Somebody just posted this on SHG’s Twitter, I can’t stop giggling right now:

“Congratulations to @MichaelCondrey for getting his twitter suspended. I guess twitter had enough of his trolling.”

ScOott

Lmao looks like the guy in charge of Twitter doesn’t like sbmm either !

ScOott

O God Condrey rapping to eminem telling us he’s back … he’s so kewllll… I don’t normally do Twitter but been checking everynow n then since u said he was banned .. Looks like he’s here to stay after all (Big sigh)

RdJokr

He missed a huge opportunity to say “Condreyversy”. Seriously, that would have been pure gold.

Still, at least he’s sticking with this one hell of a toxic community to the end. Unlike Rubin, who disappeared off the grid since 2013…

Ak74u

Rubin was awful I only herd him give feedback from the game once since ghosts came out like he just disappeared too. Before ghosts released he promised a lot, he promised to it to be the ultimate next gen experience with better AI… Just hide in shame Rubin you were a fail

RdJokr

Yeah. Dude hyped up the PC version a LOT. Even after launch, he talked about wishlist for PC constantly, like adding server browsers and whatnot. And then poof, man stopped tweeting, and the only thing we got was 80 FOV max.

ScOott

if he had thought of something like that I would of condgratulated him

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

LOL YES.

ccrows

How crazy would it be if Condrey closed the account himself, and quit just like Bowling did right around this time with MW3?

Next person in, GOODBYE SBMM… 🙂

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

Condrey is the one who put SBMM in the game, I genuinely think that. 😛

But it’s funny that a Founder of a company got suspended.

ScOott

It would be an early Christmas n birthday present in one … I doubt it tho :-/

Xx_ThomesAnTennksweg_xX

Hes Back up.

Guest

Not the best but not the worst.Tied with ghost for being the most hated on cod in the world.

Ak74u

It’s still wayyyyyy better than ghosts

Baldmanz_RAGE

True that!!!!

Smayo

Ghosts is boring, AW is boring, so they equally bad…

Xx_ThomesAnTennksweg_xX

Watching paint dry is still way better than ghosts

name

You have no idea what a good COD is then if you think this piece of garbage is better than Ghosts

CP

Clearly you never played MW2 or COD 4..

Dennis Parker

No its not

Ak74u

its a good cod but cod 4 and black ops 1 will always have a place in my heart and this one will too. One thing for shure it is not as bad as ghosts

Xx_ThomesAnTennksweg_xX

Its my third favourite cod, without sbmm it would be joint first with cod4

Ak74u

It also places third favorite for me or fourth, my order is #1cod 4, cod bo1, cod bo2 and cod aw are tied up for me

I agree! First black ops will always be my favorite COD of all time, for a myriad of reasons. If they remastered it, I would definitely purchase it for the Xbox One.

Derrick Wingler

Its better than Ghosts, but that isn’t saying much. Its always gonna be BO2 at the top for me, with MW2 being a strong second. Honestly I couldn’t stand BO1 lol. The map design and weapon balance was all terrible.

name

LOL you’re a joke.

AWKing

Should’ve been 5 extra prestige, with a pick or elites after each one.

Austin Robinson

it wouldnt be hard, get good gun amd skills, play free for all/gun game…etc. and u get a butt ton of xp

JuCd

Won’t take long, I’ve been a prestige master since beginning of December along with workin over 50 hours a week!

Yeah, probably gonna try to grind for the Steed. That is, if I don’t get that gun in a drop.

Speakeasy though… Man, they just had to put it so far away. And why are both ASM1 Elites here anyway? I was expecting to see the R.I.P. or Breakneck (even though I already had both).

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

Psssst… I got the Speakeasy. I’ll trade you for a Steed if you’re on PS4 and when the trade update goes live. 😛 And yeah, I want the R.I.P. got the Breakneck when I first got the game. Didn’t think it was very amazing so I sold it for XP (and later regretted it).

RdJokr

This game could benefit from a trade system. But I’m on PC though.

I got the Breakneck pretty early too, and boy it was insane using it. Starting to use the Bear Fist and R.I.P. more often now, but Breakneck is my go-to gun whenever I need to get quick kills.

Spodermen

I have a ps4 with the steed!

BradyAlucard[sillibk]

I’ll trade you the Speakeasy for it. 😛

Smayo

played till level 43 prestige 0, then removed it from my xbox one HDD, just the thought of playing this turd till prestige 30 gives me a depression.

Basically, I see this as a middle finger to casual players. I don’t have the time and mental strength to go through 23 MORE prestiges. I was hoping for challenges or something for EVERYONE. Not just those that were already at max prestige. This is completely useless to me and other casuals, but great for sweaty try-hards. This literally only benefits good players or players who have enough time to go through the levels. I’m right in the middle meaning I’m not bad enough to benefit from SBMM, and not good enough from this. Sorry for the rant, I’m just really pissed off.

I duno, I got the Inferno the other day, and that’s literally the only non-launcher elite weapon I’ve ever got.

NINJAKILLER63

Why is this a good idea? Do they want us to have no lives?

Xx_ThomesAnTennksweg_xX

Said it would be this when they teased it Friday 🙂

NastyNutzzOnYouTube

15 more prestiges 😮 oh man, the grind is real!

WesupDude

Yup. Cause 15 more prestige’s is exactly what the community was asking for……

Xx_ThomesAnTennksweg_xX

If you dont like it then dont prestige, Ill probably be asking for even more in a few months.

LovekillerX

I was a little bored because I’m already master prestige but grand master prestige might save me althought 15 more prestiges sound like too much. But hey at least I get my Obsidian Steed and Speakeasy (never got any good elite while prestiging to last prestige!)

If this was their idea of earning elites this is garbage. I don’t have to time to no life this game, to either earn the weapons through luck or master prestige, so that means I, and thousands of others like me should have to suffer because of xXxXx_FaZe_Y0l0_xXxXx who has 18 days total play time and the Obsidian Steed, THE BEST AR IN THE GAME at Master prestige 1?! Let alone the other 14 elite variants?! Are you fucking kidding me?! This is going to kill the game for casual. Low level players are gonna be stomped and they’re not going to tough it out for the Obsidian Steed. to just compete on a level playing field. This game is going to be tryhard heaven, even after the new CoD. Fuck you SHG you let ATVI ruin a great concept for a CoD. Spineless fucks.

smb3master

But Obsidian Steed players can’t shoot everyone on the map at one time. I’ve taken out plenty of players using the OS with my trusty Pytaek. And I’m no pro player.

Yeah sure, you can beat an OS, but you’ll ALWAYS ALWAYS be at a disadvantage, and the casual players are gonna start figuring it out and say fuck it and probably find a new game. I’d sell my copy but I bought the seasons pass and I actually like exo zombies.

reamerb .

18 days?

Axel Noir

We need the motherfucking trade system now ! I have the idea. #AWtradesystem

D3ADWANTED 25

I have an idea what about if they allow you to pick one of any elite gun every time you prestige. Thats a way better idea than working for 15 more prestiges

I like that they’ve finally released a way to unlock elite weapons but wish it gave you the choice of at least the order, if not what elite gun in general. I already have 7 of these including the first 4. Really wanted some way to get my hands in the Insanity or RIP. Unlocking the elite weapons won’t even affect me until I hit the 6th one and by then I’ll have the ARX diamond already (by a long shot since it’s half done).

I feel like I’ll be doing these levels as more of a grind toward challenges for fun than I will be doing it for the guns unfortunately.

GeneralRex

Sledgehammer really did tease us with this one. I was fully expecting the chance to unlock any elite in the game by choice through a set of challenges, not to be limited to a certain set of guns that unlock through even more prestiges. It’s especially weird since Ali-A was told he’d have a way to earn the AK12 R.I.P. directly, yet, no R.I.P. in sight.

I think for most players, this update was supposed to save Advanced Warfare, as most people are sick of the SBMM, and inability to unlock decent elite weapons. After hearing how it works, I wouldn’t be surprised if a good amount of them just dropped from the game.

steelersdc26

FFFFFFFRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

imny

i only dont have Obsidian Steed(but have inferno so…),Speakeasy,AE4Gigawatt(no dlc so…)what to do hmmm :-/

Most of these elites are azz tho. Only 2 that really interest me are the speakeasy and steed. quite of few of the other ”elite” guns chosen have superior enlisted/professional variants

noobswontlie

Some of you guys make no sense. When we asked for elite weapons directly, we wanted it to be a challenge to get. Now it is, and Now you’re complaining of how difficult it is to get to the New prestige.

SoulTaker

God damn well with my college schedule I know this won’t be happening.

spartanelite

How much does each grand Master prestige have?

JuhaML

Okay. This is stupid update. I am already prestige master and i have already 9 of those elite guns. Have obsidian steed, silver bullet, polar vortex, pro pipe, whale horn, thunder tusk, speakeasy, loophole, bearfist. They should put select one elite weapon everytime you prestige. Strider prestige 15? I already redeem it to xp. Speakeasy is so much better and it looks better. already have mors the doctor and it is much better that prestige master 3 mors silver bullet.

ShadowMaster862

I’ve gotten to the Master Prestige already, this will take another 3 monthes which I honestly don’t mind

ShadowMaster862

I already have the Silver Bullet, Goliath, Strider, Steel Bite, Money, and Whale Horn. And I sold the Bear Fist, Speakeasy, and Pro Pipe as jokes. But whatever I will gladly get them back. 🙂

Jeff Wiseman

This seems to be Sledgehammer’s mantra…. “Great ideas, poorly implemented.” They could have just put in that the original 15 prestiges earned you an enlisted or professional unlock for a weapon. Complete diamond camo challenges and earn an elite weapon unlock for that weapon. Complete the weapon attachment challenges for that gun to unlock the other.

That would have been engaging enough to keep casual players interested, and not so out of reach for everyone but the hardcore sweaty try hards. Plus the choices SH put up blow. The Whale Horn? The Polar Vortex? Where’s the RIP? Insanity? Inferno? or the Face Hammer?

After FIFTEEN times of losing all my attachments I unlocked, my classes, and my challenges being reset, I was very tired of the grind by the time I hit master prestige. I’ve enjoyed just kicking back and playing the game now since hitting Master Prestige. If there were 15 more at the start I would have never even attempted to prestige. This will turn away people more people from progressing through than the ranks then it will encourage.

People wanted a way access the weapon variants because random supply drops are broken. I’ll get 15 Fingertraps but never the RIP. I will get knee pads and shoes all the time, but rarely a gun. No one asking for another grind.

Oh, and that purple armor….. Wow. That armor screams no life. This game focuses way too much on clothes. It’s Barbie Dream Prom for COD.

zombiefreak935

SH should consider hiring you.

Jeff Wiseman

Thanks, but I’d rather work for Treyarch if I had my druthers. They seem to understand and respond to gamer’s desires far better than SH. SH will understand their is something that needs addressing, but they will take 5 months to do anything about it, then when they do they mangle it into a giant fail. See ASM1 buff, that last batch of gun buffs, and this sad program no one is doing backflips over.

On a side note, the guns I want are not even on this list, the Goliath and the Stider are, but the Strider isn’t until the end. Where’s the Inferno? The RIP? The Doctor? The Squeaker? The SAC3’s? The KF5’s? The Third? The Insanity? Who the *** was asking for the Whale Horn, Polar Vortex, or the Pro Pipe? Who chose these varients?!?! and what about the professional versions that outclass the elites like the Upper Cut, Subverter, and Ravenger? I guess those are left up to the knee pad gods of the supply drop.

Inferno

What really makes my blood boil is how they are favoring people who have hit master prestige, not a lot of people are no lives and people actually have a life. This will return and bite them in the ass with the amount of backlash they will get from favoring one section of the cod community.

Jeff Wiseman

That’s the other part. In SH’s mind they are thinking they will incentivize people to Prestige more (which means play more) now and start down this second path. In reality it will turn off most from ever wanting to touch that path and bother with it…. If they even want to stay playing this game at all.

AW has turned off a lot of the core COD players and even casual COD players, there is no denying that. They needed to do a favor to the COD audiences, not dangle a carrot in front of their faces.

Inferno

Sure, David VonderHaar has made a few mistakes with Black ops 2 in terms of patching/buffs but this takes the cake for the biggest screw up in Call of Duty history. Adding more prestiges is not gonna make me play more, its gonna make me play less. What really fuels the fire of boredom is the CRAP supply drops i get when i get one. I remember SH saying that “we implemented supply drops to increase the life cycle of our CoD game”. By implementing this feature, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Supply drops are not a turn on, they are a turn off.

Jeff Wiseman

In the past 3 days I’ve played a good bit for clan wars. I’ve received at least 20 supply drops. I got all of 3 guns out of them. Two of which were duplicate enlisted, and the third was an elite duplicate. I literally have 5 polar vortex’s in my inventory right now. That’s not counting the 3 I tossed back. I get the same elites and weapons over and over. I get crummy knee pads and clothes way more than anything else. Supply drops are broken and really piss me off nowadays.

idkwhatmynameis

No not favoring. You must not have 10+ days of game time and nothing to show for it except clothes and exos. For people who had bought the game and grinded since day zero and to literally not have an elite that you genuinely want is borderline heart breaking. I’ve bought 2 new games in the last week or so because I honestly can’ttake getting more marine pants and shirts. You play for a couple hours and open 3 drop only to get reinforcements and enlisted trash you’ve already scrapped 5 times. Believe me this announcement won’t make me hop back on multiplayer because Im no longer interested in the grind however I appreciate there being something new when I do decide to come back. Til then XENOVERSE

RdJokr

Thing is, how would it work for players who have already went through those prestiges and challenges? Unless it’s a permanent unlock, there isn’t an easy way to make it work for everybody. Not unless you start handpicking players to see how many prestiges each one has gone through and whatnot.

On the bright side, now Master Prestigers won’t have to complain about 2XP weekends being useless, am I right?

Jeff Wiseman

No, that’s a non-sequitur. If they can build a game they can retroactively allow people to select the guns owed for the prestiges or challenges completed. It would be far easier then implementing this lemon.

RdJokr

I’m not a developer, so I won’t go much into details about this, but I’m pretty sure making a system like what you said would take a lot more time than adding extra prestiges, and elites that unlock with them.

Dada

You do realize that no one has done these prestiges yet, right? They are 15 NEW prestiges, therefore that is not a problem….

Jeff Wiseman

I just don’t buy that. The guns are already there in the game. All they would need to do is implement a program into the code that a prestige 4 would have 4 unlocks at enlisted or professional weapons. I just can’t imagine that’s harder than adding 15 new prestiges, an unlock elite system at each if the new 15, and that ugly Barney the dinasour armor.

But like you, I am not a coder.

fhfghhb

Your Quite Right The Weapon Choices were bad and I Snipe I was hoping soo much I could get the doctor and the hbra3 insanity and the rw1 holiday soo dissapointed.I can’t stand this much grind for the guns I don’t want

Jeff Wiseman

Exactly. I’d love the rail driver and doctor for a sniper class too. But that’s not going to happen with this program.

hello

i have both the raildriver and the holiday and i have the doctor :0

hello

forgot also have the insanity, money, and obsidian steed

panther

just got my hands on 1 of the 5 last guns i need to complet the elites. i need both the mors elites, one bal inferno, and the boar charge. have all the other stinking guns. but the ones i want are out ofreach

Jeff Wiseman

Lucky! 🙂

Jeff Wiseman

Ironically, the whole thing that started this earn elite weapons fever was Ali-A posting on Condrey’s Twitter that he wanted the RIP. Condrey tweeted back to Ali-A “You will soon have the chance to earn it.”

Guess what? No RIP. LOL

NeonPhyzics

and some of these are not the best elites! – why not just allow us to have an unlock at the end of each prestige…I have 9 of the 15 guns they selected – and NO RIP?

Xx_ThomesAnTennksweg_xX

RIP is overrated imo, but then I dont like ak12 in the first place. I even ended up discarding for space.

That’s not what started it. People have been asking for it from like November. Ali was just one of many gamers who wanted a way to earn elites.

snldiva

This I will agree with. To say I am disappointed would be an understatement. Rather than giving us the option of the strider…the pinnacle should be the R.I.P.

Ak74u

Maybe because they don’t want us to get all the best weapons easily and have a bigger advantage over those who haven’t even hit master prestige -___- so shut up and stop being a little bitch

Jeff Wiseman

Dude, chill out. Take a Prozac and relax. No one is saying give out the elites like candy on Halloween. What I am saying is only the master prestiges who are still playing, who even want to bother with this will have access to them. That’s not exactly fair to the casual players who play a few hour a week. They could have gone another way with it to allow everyone a chance to earn the weapons with moderately difficult challenges, instead of having to put in mega hours played to prestige 30 times. Make it fair for everyone from casual COD player to avid COD lover. Don’t just throw a bone to the sweaty try hards who want every advantage possible over noobs.

But thank you for your valued and well written opinion….. Bitch.

Fariko Lunatik

LMAO You really up-vote yourself??

snldiva

“Hardcore sweaty tryhards”. I find it hilarious that some of you belittle fellow gamers for enjoying THIS specific game. I have a friend that has a ps3 and the only disc that has ever been played on the machine is call of duty. If this is the only game some folks want to play…who cares? They like it.

yanniek

I’m almost prestige 10 😀

PatPatPat

Great! just 20 MORE FUCKING LEVELS TO GO.

guest

uhhhh this is the direct way to earn elite weapons they were talking about? Who the fuck do they expect to prestige 15+ times, its literally impossible to get your attachments again with this SBMM they still have in the game.I guesss I will continue not playing the game.

jooker-jr

People in max prestige ?

Stefan Lang

Bruh. I have the Steed, Inferno, And Silver Bullet already. All I need is the Golliath, Insanity, and Speakeasy.

Juses

Lol Micheal Condrey was suspended on Twitter.

RdJokr

Probably suspended the account himself to get away from all the death threats he’s getting by now. Now Glen’s account will take them all. And we all know how often Glen even goes on Twitter…

LovekillerX

Well it is really pathetic that 12 year old kids tell death threats because of GAME! How serious they take gaming and other stuff? Nowadays kids are so much worse than ever before…

RdJokr

Eh, wait till the weapon balance patch. One fuck-up, and it’ll be Vonderhaar and the DSR all over again.

Jeremy Brinkmann

What about AK Rip? Condrey tweeted AliA that he would soon be able to earn it. Possibly more challenges to come?

Jeremy Brinkmann

AK RIP?

yardis

I thought they would have did challenges. There is no way in hell I am going to prestige 24 more times just to get those elites. I will stick with my 6th prestige and wait to unlock elites via supply drop.

IceKoldKilla

NO! My goal to be highest Prestige in every CoD is over! :'( On Ghosts I’m at Prestige 6 and I can’t even imagine finishing it. Then there’s this. I’m Prestige 1. I got the game a month ago and could already see Prestige 15 being really hard to get. NOW THIS?! NOOOOOOOO!

supr squirrel

As others have stated why would I want to play this game until 30th prestige? I am married with two children and am only on 8th prestige right now (granted, didn’t get this one at release, but still.) And while this game is fun I don’t want to have to grind through until the next game is out just to say I did it.

My point is, well, I’ve already received a good deal of Elite weapons and I’m guessing I’ll unlock a few more of the ‘Grand Master’ ones along the way so there’s not much incentive to keep grinding and grinding away…. But, hey, to each their own I guess. If you’ve got the time and the drive more power to you. 🙂

ghosts sucks

Wow! You are one of the few to be so lucky. I have 16 days game play and max prestige and only have 2 elite assault rifles. Bear fist and the R.I.P.

supr squirrel

Yeah, I figured as much (being lucky I mean, haha.) I get about three times as many Elite weapons as my wife, but she gets about three times the 2XP in the supply drops so I guess it evens out.

I wonder if it has to do with what game modes you play? I play HC KC almost exclusively and the wife mixes up between that and HC Dom.

I am master presitege (a dad too but with a little daughter who likes to watch barney on youtube while I play. I have 9 of those guns and the RIP – I would rather they just give us a choice of unlocks – there are some professional models that are good too (like the KF5)

Jacob

When does it come out?

zombiefreak935

What if we already have some of these unlocked?

Juses

Free xp

RdJokr

2000 XP it is then.

Gideon ELITE!!!

Should Have just let us earn tokens to buy elites. Just Saying

zombiefreak935

But wont you have all of these if you prestiged 30 times?

Elektrobanq

Wouldn’t be surprised if you were still missing half of those guns listed above. I’ve been getting countless duplicates of Professional and Enlisted weapons, and at this rate, I’ll be able to open a T.J. Max by the time I hit master prestige with all these freaking jeans and kneepads I’m getting in my supply drops.

thomas360

People would play through 30 prestiges because it hasn’t even been out that long and there are a lot of masters already. I would probably already be 30.

ghosts sucks

Im excited. Love this game, well most of it and I don’t mind grinding out another 15 prestiges. At least thereis finally a way to get these guns

Assist King

How about working on my shots taking and reducing lag? Hate on Ghosts all you want, but it had better hit detection and less lag than AW.

Ryan

Ur right, i’ve been playing ghosts more recently and the general connection is way better along with greater lag comp.

jooker-jr

SH is not one person.

verity

Feeling excited about the new prestiges. I always get a little bored once I’ve hit max prestige. Something new to keep me wanting to play more.

Ryan

My only problem with this is that (1)AE4 is a dlc weapon which not everyone has, (2)guns such as the whale horn and bear fist are included,but could have been chicanerey or insanity. Hey, but you know what they say… Beggars Can’t Be Choosers. At least we’re getting something

PatPatPat

Yeah, no, not worth 600 hours of non-stop grinding to get to prestige 30 for a fucking elite gun. i’ll stick to my luck with supply drops

Wow, it’s going to take me a long time just to get there and I’m only 8th prestige. I don’t understand how someone can spend so much time on this game because I barely play throughout the week. It’s probably going to take me till the next CoD comes out or even when it’s already out to get there. I didn’t reach Master Prestige in Black ops 2 until Ghosts came out. I didn’t even bother going to 10th prestige in Ghosts because it was just horrible.

As for the elites up there, I already have Silver Bullet, Polar Vortex, Whale Horn, and Bearfist. Why didn’t they put the AK 12 R.I.P or other guns in there?

Nurisson

I thought it’s going to be like “Get 1500 kills with *weapon* 🙁

Guest

Or … Or … You ca get supply drops and have a random chance to get an elite weapon instead of grinding for days to get a weapon every prestige. Just a thought ?

KevJumbaify .

*sigh* treyarch please announce the next cod already. And for the love of gaming PLEASE have no exo suits.

CrowReap .

Hey guys upvote if you like to kill waterfiends for crimson charms.

TheGamerBeast

Speakeasy Master prestige 12 omg why, but this is good not bad

CrowReap .

I already have the asm1 speakeasy got it like in my first supply drop but never cared to play the game again since its boring. I feel bad for the people who play on a daily basis and don’t have it

KevJumbaify .

Fuck the MLG community also. At least treyarch cared for the pub players aswell.

Blaine

Lol, oh how time distorts memories… Treyarch was exactly the same. Only cared about MLG, always shat on casual pub players.

KevJumbaify .

Not really.

Cosima McInnes

I can’t stomach playing this game for more than 30 minutes soo no .. I guess I will take my chances with supply drops and hope that I get an elite weapon there.

Blaine

Are you fucking kidding me SHG?? I mean I shouldn’t be surprised, this is just the latest in a long line of misleading promises and horrible decisions. But seriously? I have to prestige 17 times just to get the Goliath I’ve been trying to get for so god damn long?! Look, I’ve got 80 hours into MP, and I’ve never prestige, because to some people prestiging is absolutely stupid. Not worth grinding to re-unlock everything. I never prestige in any COD, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t enjoy the pointless grinding.

I stopped playing AW two weeks ago after opening up my 1845th pair of grey Nigerian pants, refusing to play again until a reasonable method of unlocking elite variants directly was implemented. You could go all the way to 30th prestige and you still wont get the HBR Insanity or AK12 Goliath!! I guess I’ll just keep this game on the shelf where it’s been.

jooker-jr

Either this or every single one in AW will use the BAL and the ASM1.

Odin

I barely play the game and I have the RIP, Obsidian Steed, and the Speakeasy. You guys are getting so robbed of your time by having to go through so many prestiges to get to the Speakeasy (not worth it), and the RIP isn’t even available. SMH

KevJumbaify .

Thank goodness theirs bloodborne, borderlands handsom collection, zombie army trilogy, and BF hardline coming out this month so I don’t have to play this damn game.

jooker-jr

Do u hate the game or love it ?

AcePhoenix007

31 prestige levels honestly sounds stupid. It’s only appealing to the people that play Advanced Warfare 24/7 and have literally nothing else to do in life.

jooker-jr

AW is probaly the easiest cod to preistge in it.

AcePhoenix007

I know, but when you see “31 prestiges”, you (might) think “thousands of hours”

PatPatPat

you mean to tell me that i’m going to work my ass off to get to Master Prestige, and then i have to do it AGAIN? ALL OF IT? FUCK YOU SLEDGEHAMMER.

I just hit prestige 3 and decided not to do it anymore. This in no way makes me want to prestige. From here on out, I’ll just work on challenges.

Fariko Lunatik

no R.I.P????!!! Well lucky I just got it lol

GinsuVictim

Same here, still no Obsidian Steed or Speakeasy yet.

Fariko Lunatik

Yeah man I am master prestige rank 1 so just got the steed but I really want the speakeasy

David Bustamante

I hope that once you hit prestige 30 you’ll get all the elite weapons because if you no life it enough to reach prestige 30 you deserve to get all the weapons

Dr. Salim

Heists and Hardline coming out this month? Nah, I’m good.

Dr. Salim

“An exclusive elite weapon.” how is getting something that other people have “exclusive?”

OldManLight

that’s cool and all but where the fuck is the AK12 RIP?

Anthony

I already have like seven of these weapons. It would be great that while leveling up through these new prestiges, when you get a supply drop, it increases your chance of getting elite weapons.

Arin

I don’t understand the gripes about the extra prestiges. I’ve gotten to master with just under 6 days playing time, and there are plenty of people who are even more efficient. If you are any good at AW whatsoever, it’s probably the most quickly leveling COD to date (at least in my experience, and I’ve been playing since COD4).

Arin

also, I’m one of those guys who is master prestige and hasn’t gotten crap for elite weapons, so I’m pretty excited about this. Not gonna lie though, I’m a bit disappointed that either the R.I.P. or Insanity were excluded from the GM unlocks.

jooker-jr

Once you have the insanity, it will probably be your favourite varient.

Billy Bedlam

the insanity and the spekeasy r my only good supply drops ive gotten and i love the insanity

Ak74u

No I hate this now there will be more try hards with tryhards weapons. What I was hoping they would do allow prestige masters to pick ONE elite weapon of their choice.

SolidSnake

“No I hate this now there will be more try hards with tryhards weapons.” Translation: I’m a scrub and will need to buy more Vaseline for my butthole when I’m getting reamed…Your name is one of the most “OP” tryhard weapons in a COD. How about you stop being scary. If you are a man how can you not feel like a wuss being afraid that the enemy will have too good weapons and will “tryhard’? How can you even quantify how hard someone is trying? If they played past Master Prestige they’d have tons of experience with AW so technically they wouldn’t have to try so hard if they know the ins and outs of the game….You’re the equivalent of a fat guy calling guys that get laid, “pretty boys” or “dumb jocks”

Ak74u

Haha ok your a troll or either a mad man on his period who has no life than to talk shit over the Internet. Fucking pussy haha

Ak74u

Also will the weapons be permanent because I don’t want to accidentally redeem them like I did before to a few weapons

BMANxCoS

This is the CoD with the shittiest connection EVER. For that reason alone, I’d rather play Ghosts. But they are both garbage.

Dan Marsh

This game is so dead, couldnt even find a hardpoint lobby yesterday. TDM is about the only mode I can find lobbys on a regular basis

jooker-jr

There are too much playlist, it’s not dead.

O.G.Bobby Johnson

I love the fact that they are adding some replay value to the game 15 more prestige levels and a bonus for each one is a great idea, the exo suit was a great idea along with the supply drops. This game has a weapon to fit every playstyle along with the gear to match. But for the life of me I can’t understand why people still complain, I guess because its the “cool” thing to do.

You would have to play this game every second of your life to get to grand master WTF!

xlExquisite

No you wouldn’t, I have logged in about 16 hrs game time since around Christmas. I hit 15th 3 weeks after the game came out. Therefore I have many seconds I have spent not playing the game.

Guywithbrains

I just hate how some people hate everything Sledgehammer Games do.

– They did innovate Call of Duty by adding exo suits: “Lol! This ain’t CoD anymore!” – They gave us Zombies after little kids cried about not having them: “WTF! DLC?! So stupid.” – They gave us double xp more than they should have: “Lolololo SHGames and Activision so desperate to get players!” – They gave us a new way to get elite weapons by Grand Master Prestige: “ROFL! They just made old prestige icons gold! So lazy!”

Especially that last one made me lol. Like seriously? Since when a little picture next to your name in lobby made game bad?

I just wanted to make this post because I see lots of b*tching about every little thing what SHGames do in Condrey’s Twitter (now suspended). Think about the fact that this is their first Call of Duty game. They follow their OWN vision and that’s what every Call of Duty developer should do. Don’t listen to kids calling you names for so little reasons.

I am not saying you shouldn’t say your opinion but I know guys who just want to b*tch about everything even without true reason.

LovekillerX

I agree with everything you said. CoD community is so bad and everything developers do is bad. People wanted to see something new but now they changed their mind? Like what is wrong with you guys? Try to make up your damn mind.

It is fun how people complain from this game because they can stop playing it and sell it away for those who really would like to play this game. Nobody points a gun towards your head and say “play this game even if you don’t like it!” People are just mad because this game doesn’t allow “pros” to feast on noobs anymore. That explains why everyone went back to Black Ops 2. I played it yesterday and I got hammered by “feasters.” This is truth and I expect certain commenters (those who can’t accept the fact they’re bad at the game) to tell me otherwise.

This is their first game as you said. That is why you can’t expect it to be perfect. But for me this game is good and wins Black Ops 2 any day. Modern Warfare series and Advanced Warfare are my favorites. 🙂

What I would like to see is SBMM to return in Treyarch title so the game is fair for EVERYONE. 🙂

jooker-jr

I agree, but I think that double XP should be more rare ( it’s not “happy news” like before )

ghosts sucks

AMEN BROTHA!

Rutger Poortman

Why would some one wear a purple outfit in a War. Lmao

Redrum

because Fashion!

jooker-jr

Who doesn’t want to be the most FABULOUS soldier on the battlefield ?

zack

Theres doing too much and theres doin the most… Sledgehammer did the most.

More distinct symbols or at least more distinct grand master one. Grand master symbol needs to to be unique to separate it at first glance. Also, expected some kind of challenges for those elite weapons, this is just pure laziness. Here you go, it took me 5 minutes while having food break in work.

jooker-jr

I kinda agree with the first one because they are gold, any noob will know that this is a special symbol.

I disagree with the second one because you gonna have more people using the BAL and ASM1 to get the elite variant and even more people that uses the elite variants ( and they are a lot already ).

But the challenges in this game are such fail (I got my diamond camos far before I completed them) so I was expecting they could at least try to fix it (by bringing another weapon-based challenges to the table)

SolidSnake

You are just complaining to be complaining though. That isn’t even a better idea. “distinct symbols or at least more distinct grand master one.” You just complained about what they did but didn’t actually share an idea of how to do it. How is making people grind “lazy.” If it were challenges you’d complain the challenges were too easy or too hard. You’re taking the easy way out yourself and just hating just because. No one is grinding that hardcore for some damn “distinct symbols.”

people were b!itching about we are max or almost max we don’t want double xp thing like that ..now you have it …whiny b!itches

Baldmanz_RAGE

My only question would be, are these guns not going to show up in supply drops now that they will be tied to Master Prestiges?

FazalGaming

Good question

reamerb .

That’s what I’m worried about.

jooker-jr

No, u can still get it from supply drops ( if u r lucky enough )

Baldmanz_RAGE

Unfortunately I think this is a good idea. If you are already Master Prestige this give you something to play for without wasting all that XP every match. On the flip side I am only Prestige 6 and probably won’t partake in this.

Why do people still play this game’s multiplayer? Admittedly, it’s a lot better than Ghosts’ (nothing can get that bad) but it has to be said – it’s not exactly MW3 anymore… ah, the good old days of Call of Duty when they didn’t give a dam about graphics and cared for gameplay…

Guywithbrains

MW3 is my personal favorite. Although I have been trying to play Black Ops 2 but I just can’t because I am getting stomped on all the time in every single lobby. Guns can’t do sh*t, I die to my spawn, enemies run sniper first and quickscope me even if I start to shoot first and my team sucks. And what makes it more frustrating is that enemy kids have “funny” dick, ass and boobs emblems.

^ I’m not sure if I am allowed to say these words…

jooker-jr

Because it’s fun and refreshing ?

Billy Bedlam

im going for grand master prestige:D

Benny Lo

im already master prestige have been for about 3 months or so now and will deff be going for grand master prestige because i love the game but i just dont have anything to do anymore so this gives me some incentive 🙂

Billy Bedlam

i’ll be grinding as well, me being married and having kids i play when there in bed, i cant wiork since i fell off the roof so this is my hobby i have lol

Wazzaaa

Like if your waiting for treyarch to reveal the new cod

Guywithbrains

Setting and story, yes. Multiplayer hell no (if it has anything to do with BO2).

KevJumbaify .

Bo2 MP is better then ghosts and aw.

yardis

and MW3

Juses

…Bo2 multiplayer is way better than ghosts and AW multiplayer, and most people would agree with that.

Guywithbrains

I don’t wonder why after playing it. Filled with try hard kids stomping on noobs. I played over an hour and I got 2 wins out of over 10 games.

I won’t lose all my hope but so far I keep my expectations low.

SolidSnake

So I suppose you were the noob getting stomped. If you’re getting stomped by literal kids then how does that make you feel as a man? Oh I forgot instead of being accountable for not being very good you’ll just pretend they care “too much.” All you do is use the term “tryhard” and “kid” when in reality people are better than you from experience of playing same game series 6+ years. No need to try to take the focus on you not be good by pretending others care “too much.” You care more than they do which is why you try to rationalize things instead of just taking your stomping from these “kids, women, minorities” or whatever pejorative you wanna use.

Guywithbrains

Make me feel good as a man because I don’t need parties to be good. Also I don’t have to pretend to be good because I play against noobs as these “pros” do.

I have played since Call of Duty 4 so I don’t think I am bad. Treyarch titles just make it so easy for kids to stomp on noobs with full parties. Then they are “so skilled” and “pro” because they can spawn trap in Nuketown.

I assume you are one of this kind of players. How that makes you feel as a man that AW proved you to be bad in the end? (Playing against same skill level and getting killed all the time)

SolidSnake

I’m not bad at the game, only COD I was bad at was MW2 and it’s not because I faced “tryhards” it’s because I was new and getting stomped.

You act as if you’re the only person who played BO2 solo. You act as if you were the only good person on your team full of noobs and the enemies were full parties every game. That’s BS and you only used excuses. My KDR is 1.78 and SPM 380 on AW so I play plenty of competition. You keep acting as if the only reason you were no good at BO2 is because you played against parties. Party system has been around a long time and still exists in AW. Technically if you’re good at AW it’s even worse since SBMM makes it so you’re facing a party of good players. You can’t have accountability. You think the only reason you couldn’t get a UAV in BO2 because of “tryhard kids” stomping on noobs. You don’t see how that can be seen as an excuse. I have zero issue with AW as far as the game goes or any COD whether I play solo or not. Playing solo actually gives you a chance to get more kills if you’re playing with noobs. Quit pretending

Yeah I agree. I wait for story because I’m so called “singleplayer veteran.” Also why I wait for story more than MP is because I don’t like Black Ops 2 multiplayer. I went there today although I knew what I was going to face. In every match I went to losing team with 800 score best player in my team vs. 2500+ point guys on the opposite team with their emblems like pikachu putting ghost mask on or their d*cks and boobs.

Yeah I literally got sh*t on the neck in every single match. Everyone used AN-94 stock and silencer and nothing else. Whenever I spawned I was killed. So I couldn’t do anything… after few matches I shut down my console and thought “why I even tried?”

I really hope that next Treyarch title will not include same sh*t as Black Ops 2. SBMM should return as I stated below and that is how game will be fair.

Since everyone is turning this post into a “what Sledgehammer did wrong” bitch fest I’m going to chime in. Let me start out by saying this game is not as bad as Ghosts. But lets be serious, that is not saying much. The number one problem I have with this game are the spawns. Which I don’t think they can fix because of how fast people get around with the exo abilities. Since I brought up exo abilities which is my number 2 problem in Advanced Warfare. With that being said i want to start out by saying I thoroughly love using the exo abilities. I’ve gotten so used to boosting around that it is second nature. I even have found myself trying to boost forward in other shooter games. Lol! Because they are so easy and fun to use there lies the inherent problem. The reason people can’t get streaks going is not because of SBMM it is because enemies can literally come from any angle at anytime. Gone are the days of securing a portion of the map where you know that all of the enemies are in front of you. It was bad enough in previous COD games trying to locate enemies because of all the possible places they could be. But at least is was restricted to a 1st or 2nd floor. Now it’s above you, behind you, next to you, under you. You just can’t guard that many directions so therefore you die a lot.

Here is my solution to all of this. Put a regeneration meter on using the boost mechanics. Kind of like when the grenades regenerate in Destiny. Make it a 40 to 45 sec. regeneration between uses and people will be on the ground longer or at least not be able to traverse the map in 3 seconds which in my opinion will only help the spawns.

Otherwise I’m still playing the game which at this point last year I totally gave up on Ghosts. I’m just not playing as much because most matches are such a sweaty grind fest.

There has to be another way they havent shown us yet. They know that not everyone buys the dlc so having ae4 as an unlock is just pointless. What they hiding?

Potato Republic

I agree with almost everybody here that 30 Prestiges is too much, but I’m just happy I can get the Elites that I’ve always grinded my ass off for. (Sarcasm)

But grinding ’till 30 prestige?! I’d rather buy supply drops.

J4MES

I bet Ali-A and Tmartn will be prestige 30 this time next month. Pretty desperate move from SHG in an attempt to keep people interested with some golden crap and it’ll just encourage the tryhards to get even sweatier!

Guest

WAIT CAN THIS BE idk my friend found this BLACK OPS 3 ?!

PatPatPat

Do you ACTUALLY believe this?

Kenny Alexandre

Hell no lol

KINGMOJO

damn it i already have almost all those elites nothing for me there besides that camo

Jordan C

I think its pretty fun, people could use an excuse to play this game a little longer

Honestly what if you already have the elites will it give it to you again and you can just redeem it for xp?

velos

So can you still get elite guns in the normal supply drops, or is it only prestige people that can get them now?

Patrick Toworfe

MW3 had 20 prestiges if i recall correctly, except you needed to get to level 80 per prestige so it was a grind. Tbh i wont mind going for Presitge 30 as long as I keep getting cool loot. That said, the 360 version’s armor sucks because of the textures so it’s hard to feel motivated :V I need the XB1 version

Not digging the purple. If its a really customizable game, shouldn’t we be allowed to customize the color of the Master? lol. I’d pick anything but purple. Hell, i would pick pink before purple, and that is saying something since I hate pink LOLOL

dragon

Yes I have 15 elite weapons, some of the same ones. Need to be able to trade with other players. I have 2 obsidian steel, 2 whale horn, 3 pain and suffering.

I don’t understand why people are moaning and groaning about this system. Sure there are alternative ideas but this seems reasonable. If you want it…work for it. If you don’t want to put in the time, or you think it’s unfair…don’t do it. You can still earn elites in random supply drops. ( I think that system is skewed but that’s an entirely different thread) I have a friend that has 2 R.i.p.s, 2 speakeasys, a facehammer, a propipe, the insanity….meanwhile I have the chicanery/virtuosity…etc. Now I have the opportunity to earn a couple of the weapons I want. Yes, I have to grind harder (a lot harder) than he did, but those unfortunately are the breaks. I am disappointed the R.I.P. isn’t available. The ASM1 and the AK are my favorite guns, and truly the only elites that I was yearning for. Such is life. Prestige or don’t, the choice is yours.

carlos

I just pristiged to pristige 1 and i dont get my elite weapon the bal-27 obsidian seed, can someone help!?

xGeneralRex

These grandmaster prestiges take their place after the initial 15. Meaning you have to prestige 15 times first before you can start shredding through the new ones. You’ve got another 14 to go.

Cat hunter

what decides when you get a supply drop i this game?

oLucky v1

30 too easy not trying to be cocky but this game is easy

Aymen Skiken

so can i get the ae4 without buying it ?

HmD Kibbles

love this game bro, 30 prestiges isnt that hard, could do it in 4 weeks

jooker-jr

8 for me 🙂

C0le224

When will the supply drop udate be released for xbox 360 owners I’m willing to pay so if u could please release it soon I’m supper pumped

name

This is the worst Call of duty ever! Anyone who thinks this game is any better than Ghost is a joke.

Ak74u

They shoud of still put the obsidian last or second because now everyone is using that in my lobbies im prestige master and get those prestige guys all the time -__-

AW

I have the speakeasy and its the best gun I have ever had in cod history it was also the first elite weapon I got In AW so I like to think it was my destiny to get this gun

oscar

i love the game! campers are mad because i can just jump behind them and make them cry. snipers can’t touch this with that exo suit judgement day!

BLaze

This is fucked, i get fuck all in fucking supply drops my best gun is the fucking bal carbon and thats fucking enlisted. When i go in lobbys i get punnished for having such high stats, i get put with fucking no lifers who are all like max presstige and some are even gold prestiges they all got elite varients and i dont, im at a disadvantage and its pissing me off. im only prestige 4 why not put me up against other prestige 4s that was we would likely have even weapons and even chance fuck it if they are not good with equal stuff then fuck them. Now u can buy supply drops thats even more shit as it is basically pay to win the elite guns are so OP as fuck. i picked up a RIP in a game and during that game it helped me get a DNA bomb easliy. Thats why i dont play AW as much as i did ghosts and bo2 i would be max prestige if this was ghost or bo2 but because this game is sooo annoying i cant be asked to play it and i regret buying season pass i had faith in u sledgehammer and u fucking broke cod this year fuck the supply drops and varients. if ur gonna keep the varients in the next cod then at least make it so u can earn them or buy them with cod points like in ghosts. and another thing when u prestige u have to unlock all ur fucking attachments with challenges that is soo shit how the fuck are u meant to get 10 hipfire kills with a normal ak-12 against no lyfers just put back the old system where u have cod points to unlock shit and instead take out supply drops there is no element of skill involved in this game anymore its all just luck or pay to win. maybe u could buy different varients with cod points or whatever i dont understand why people hating on ghosts its so much fucking better than this shit i had way more fun playing ghost than this shit.

tristan linquette

but remember M.Condrey said to Alia-A that he would be able to earn the Ak12 RIP but do I see an Ak12 RIP in the elite rewards? No, that means that there is maybe a trading system coming soon, am I wrong ?

Prince Of The City.

Most of the people saying it’s not fun can’t get past the skill gap.. Yes, ASM1 & BAL are really the only viable weapons aside from a few other weapon variants ( steelbite, breakneck, insanity ) but that doesn’t make the game “not fun”.. I feel like this game takes way more skill & tactic than any other CoD. The verticality ads so much more to the game in my opinion.. Some people just can’t keep up. Takes to much thinking I guess lol

lol

can you add all bo2 weapon’s or new wepons plz

cod fan

ha ha must suck for u guys getting those guns I have 6 the steel bite polar vortex bear fist speakeasy the sledgehammer propipe and the thunder tusk

blah

Sick it do what u love and that’s what it’s about

123

I already have a lot of the better weapons on that list, like the strider and speakeasy, and I’m only prestige 3. Grinding all that way is not worth it.

tarfeef101

Still pissed there’s no Insanity

Justin Vieu

Just because you suck ass at aw doesn’t mean its a completely horrible game and I kill everything with a s-12 and all the pistols so fuck your op bal 27 and asm1

Riley perry

The fact people enjoy aw is sad. It is easily the worst cod made

bob

wtf cod aw is the best cod as its got clearer picture, and u can jump to higher ground levels giving more room on the map, im full grand master prestige and the bal27 and asm1 r shit when playing againt gud players u get snipered staight away,so u gotta use quick kill guns like the arx or other snipers like the atlas, lol
